Don’t bother I’ve had Starkey aids for maybe 4 years and they must’ve been back to Starkey at least 4 times if not more. I collected them again this morning from the audiologist and guess what when I came to pairing them… neither microphone nor receiver worked on either. And THIS is what they’ve just been away for a week for, the. They came back on Tuesday and failed in the audiologist. Then again today. Core functionality non existent - they are supposed to help me hear. All they do is cause aggravation and embarrassment . I’m done.

They squeal a lot They squeal a lot. Just getting next to something, like inside a car or next to a kitchen cabinet set off the squealing. It is uncomfortable just to reach up to take them out because of the squealing caused by my hand. There needs to be a better filter to stop all the noise of knives and forks clanking on the plates, because all I hear at dinner is plates clanking, and my self chewing. I am effectively deaf at any dining situation.

Bluetooth connectivity is spotty even… Bluetooth connectivity is spotty even with the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. No notification of messages or phone calls are announced in the hearing aids. Placing the phone in a pants pocket effectively disconnects the Bluetooth. Still can't connect them via Bluetooth to other devices, such as the 2022 Sony TV we just bought.

Really disappointed with these hearing… Really disappointed with these hearing aids, I was very strongly advised by the audiologist that I would vastly prefer private aids over NHS. What a mistake, the NHS ones are much preferable. A very expensive mistake. The Starkey aids also turn themselves off if I fall asleep, rubbish if you are waiting for the door bell to ring.

My password? Is this some kind of an advertising joke? The failure took place over several momnths, and is ongoing, not one day. The devices improved my hearing immediately. But I was unable to adjust the volume or frequency band even though i was told it was possible. Later i found out there was software to permit these adjustments. When it was installed it improved everything. UNFORTUNATELY, it didn't last long. The software stopped working. I am now waiting to have it reinstalled. I need to get this software so I can do it myself. The wait is unreasonably long. The wait is unreasonably long. (This format is not sufficient to submit a good report)
